Traditionally (until 2019), QMA has held three Grand National Races each year: the Eastern Grands (for clubs east of the Mississippi), the Western Grands (for clubs west of the Mississippi), and the Dirt Grands (which often was in the eastern half of the United States but attempted to cycle around).  Each of the Grand National races is a 4-7 day stand-alone event.
